The Anglers

A variety of fishermen have been drawn to the Angler's Wharf--The Anglers are all about fishing, with numerous daily quests that send you out into the world to fish. You get three daily quests per day from the questgivers, skilled fishermen of all races.

The Anglers are found in two locations: an island in Southern Krasarang Wilds and Sri-La Village, located off the eastern coast of The Jade Forest.

Nat Pagle, fisherman extraordinaire of Azeroth, is now the Angler Quartermaster. Like many other faction-related NPCs, he comes with his own personal friendliness meter: Nat Pagle.

He is located at the Angler's Wharf, sitting in a fishing chair. He trains both Zen Master Fishing and has reputation rewards players can purchase.

Looks like we will be able to fish from it, since it is fishing faction. (It is just my opinion)Hope this helps.

EDIT: We can't...... well that's sad

Starter quest in the Shrine of Two Moons or Shrine of Seven Stars: The Anglers

Remember to check every few hours (will edit when I figure out how many) for new quests.

I just did all the quests in there some hours ago, then I went back to the location to see something at the Quartermaster and to my surprise, John "Big Hook" Marsock had one more quest available to me!

To make it clear for everyone - there currently seems to be a bug on EU live servers that the daily quests reset twice for this faction. Once at 3AM and then, like normal, at 4AM.

So you can double-dip the quests if you happen to be awake on 3 am, then wait again until normal daily quests reset at 4m.

When can you start questing with the Anglers? The exclamation points are silver and I'm level 87. Thanks.

Comment by Martika

At what point do quests in Sri-La Village appear? Or do they? I find no NPCs with whom I can interact in that area. I'm level 90 and honored with The Anglers.

Comment by Drazulfel

Hmm. I am level 90, I picked up "The Anglers" quest from the city, and I've done the dailies for 3 days in a row... and I'm still rated a Stranger with Nat Pagle, and have 0 rep. /confused

Comment by RCanine

I didn't realize this until I was revered, but there's a quest hub in the Dread Wastes that gives you a good chunk of rep with the Anglers. If you're like me and stopped questing at 90, make sure you don't miss this one--you don't want to do them once you're already exalted.

It does not appear that the Anglers area in Jade Forest provides you any rep. For the horde, at least, it's not even on the questing path.

I've discovered today that there is a trigger to open more than the original 3 random quests at Angler's Wharf. I haven't figured out what it is yet, however. I went today to pick them up and as I accepted the 3rd daily, 2 more popped up:) So today I have a total of 5 dailies to do for the Angler's. My rep with them is friendly as it was the previous day. Just wanted to let people know. Sorry I haven't figured out what triggered it.

Edit: I've done the Angler's dailies for 3 more consecutive days and have not had more than 3 dailies (besides the Nat Pagle fish turn ins) offered to me. I can't find any info in the forums, so I'm worried it was a bug:( I'll post again if I find anything new.

Edit: Today I completed the 3 available dailies and left. Later I ended up back down at the Angler's Wharf looking for Giant Mantis Shrimp and as I fly over I see 2 new Blue exclamation points. WooT! So now I wonder if it's possible that these dailies work somewhat as the Tol Barad ones did. Periodically through the day 3 new dailies are randomly chosen. I definitely picked up the 2 extra dailies the first time, during the day. I'll be testing this over the next couple of days and I will re post if I find anything:)

I'm really disappointed in the new Fishing content. Specifically, I can't see why I would bother grinding dailies with Anglers or (too) rare fish with Nat Pagle.

AnglersFriendly - boring cooking recipes with no unique attributes. If they had a buff, or cool effect, that'd be appealing. Honored - Yeah, I went this far to get the pet. The +10 Pole is a joke. Revered - The +30 pole is a nice offering, but like most fishing vets, I already have a +30 pole (many of you probably have +40 even) so this is pointless. Exalted - yea, yea, a mount. You know what, I have over 60 mounts. There's nothing about this one that justifies, TO ME, the grind.

Nat PagleI know a lot of people like to whine about RNG and all that. I get math and understand what random means. But, I have spent a few hours trying for rare fish, after reading comments on Wowhead and El's Angling on where to go and so on. I'm not lazy and I'm not in a hurry. I have easily over 100 hours in fishing - I know it's a timesink. But, I gave up bothering trying to get rep with Nat. There just weren't enough drops in the time I spent.

I just want Nat's Hat. The +5 fishing and the +150 lure attributes would be nice. I fished dailies in BC and WotlK for MONTHS trying to get the other Hat or either of the Fishing Line buffs and nothing.

I mostly like Fishing. It's not boring, per se. And sometimes you make nice food, buffs or gold from what you can catch. But, when a player can spends months and years trying to get a fairly modest reward and it eludes them... well, screw that.

Comment by Euphemia

I am SO disappointed that those Anglers did not train their water striders properly :( I'd honestly believe that they would be trained so that the riders could actually fish while mounted. I mean, yeah - they are groundmounts and cannot fly, however, they walk on water in non-battleground areas. But, for what purpose if not to be able to fish while mounted? It does not make sense to me that any Angler would not train their mounts for this very purpose... I am aware of the raft, but it seems cumbersome to have to dismount and setup the raft (which quickly will take on water anyways), when you could keep your feet dry while fishing off the water strider. We know the Anglers have their sense of comfort,, and I really don't see how they would not want their Exalted "followers" to enjoy the comfort of fishing from these mounts. Sorry for whining, but had to get this off of my chest...

On the upside, this mount has one of the coolest mount specials ingame atm - it looks absolutely hilarious!

I have seen several posts here stating disappointment in the Anglers quests, so I thought I would give my two cents toward it.

No the Anglers may not have the best awards, but to me their quests are extremely easy (even if limited). As for Nat Pagle, here is a thought when fishing up those rare fish, the time spent looking for them can be put to good use with the Cooking quests.

You see, you can catch all those fish, make grocery baskets out of them, then trade them in for cooking tokens, which in turn you can spend to buy those ingredients (like all those veggies) that you may not be able to grow yet or are a pain in the...to farm from vermin.

So, while fishing exclusively for Nat may be a headache, you can still benefit from it (not to mention those carp are used for the serpent dailies).

Personally, I feel fishing is a must have skill above all others in MoP. With it you can supplement your cooking, which will help you earn rep with the Tillers too. To me that makes it worth more than any rewards coming from the Anglers.

Comment by AingealWroth

While I have stopped trying to achieve Exhalted for the moment, I do fully intend to complete the grind (for Anglers, no Pangle, he drinks too much for my taste), but I would like to just give my two coppers on the 'rating' that seems to be happening on this faction.

I love my Goldfish, it is one of my best Pet Battle pets, adorable, and it kicks booty pretty well for something that should be doing laps in a fish bowl. Any Pet Battlers without an Aquatic pet that they adore should likely at least do the rep grind to Honored, because this one is a keeper. =)

If you have any desire to level fishing (perhaps to catch spinefish for your alch, or get simple Ironpaw tokens from fishing, or for something to do as you wait in Que) almost all of the dailies grant one fishing level per turn in, and very few require fish that are impossible to catch with lower fishing levels. If you do these as well as the org fishing daily you would have a nice gold bonus and fishing levels every day, without having to just sit and grind, making it feel more 'interactive'.

You must be 90, you must have fishing skill learned, but as far as needing the Angler's quest start, that seems unrequired. I found the hub while running around on the ocean, marked it in my memory, and went back when 90. I was able to start dailies right away.

Comment by Lisanette

I did some math and found that if you want to get highest reputation with both The Anglers and Nat Pagle this is what needed:

So for most people (the ones with +10%):Do the quest line in Dread Waste, hand over 79 fish to Nat Pagle (can be done in 27 days, where you should do 3 dailies 12 of those days, thus:) hand in 36 dailies. This should give you maxed reputation with both factions and thereby save you some time to do other dailies.

Comment by HordeSkorp

For those who want to get Exalted with the Anglers Faction that bit Quicker there is a hub in the Dread Wastes called Soggy's Gamble which provides Anglers Reputation per quest turn in.

Comment by alloyzen

Aside from doing dailies, there are other ways to increase your rep with these guys:

Comment by johnnywow

I have 5 toons. All of them, except one, are able to do the angler's quests. For that one I cannot get started. When I go to the lower level of the shrine, the angler NPC had no ! over it's head. When I go to Angler's Wharf there are no quests available. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am talking about the dailies. Thanks. My fishing skill is 600. The toon is a Lvl 90 with an ilvl of 511.

Comment by bladeyama

The raft from these guys are great to kill Evermaw the giant rare elite shark that swims around Timeless isle

Comment by Phemenator

If you are having issues starting at Soggy's Bottom (like I did, I was very frustrated at this point.. XD) Go to Klaxxi'vess and talk to Kor'ik who will give you a quest called "A Cry From Darkness" which will lead into "Mazu's Breath"

Comment by Malthmazar

Hunters…..

Just to let you know, if you go north of the Angler post (into the jungle on the mainland), and tame a Water Strider, you will be able to walk on water with as they have a "Surface Trot" power that will allow it.

Note - It's a little quirky. Cannot be on a mount when you activate it. As well, cannot get attacked or you'll sink.

Still - It's walking on water. Which is great if you're in search of rares on Timeless Island (specifically Maw - The large whale that circles the island often).

Comment by eadgbe

why is there no flight path to the anglers? it is the first time i can recall a daily quest hub in the game that didnt have a flight master.... this must have been an oversight - why would they design it this way?

Comment by Avestitillia

Didn't see that anyone mentioned that you can also get rep from daily bonus from Heroic Dungeon, Scenario, and Heroic Scenario.

Comment by Nepturion

LEVEL 90 BOOST (Gaining The Angler reputation)

You can do the Daily quests from The Anglers as of Fishing skill 1, got my quest item at skill 66.After you have done 1 or all Daily quests there i would recommend that you use the Bonus Reputation on Random Heroic Dungeon, Random Scenario and Heroic Scenario. (this will give you alot of rep per day).

Comment by Shaitan051

I REALLY hope WoD doesn't have an equivalent to the Anglers.All the cheap fish put up on the AH from people doing Angler quests and getting Nat Pagle rep made fish practically worthless. MoP has been the first expansion where I made no money off raidfood fish (past the initial rush in the beginning).
